Charlie Sheen has provoked outrage with claims that the U.S. government
was behind the September 11 terror attacks. Ahead of today's eighth anniversary
of the atrocities that killed 3,000, the Hollywood star has insisted there
was a cover-up. And he has appealed to President Barack Obama to hold a
new investigation into the attacks on the World Trade Centre towers in New
York and the Pentagon in Washington DC .

Actor Charlie Sheen has demanded Barack Obama open a new investigation into
9/11 Sheen, the highest-paid actor on U.S. TV, argues that 'the official
9/11 story is a fraud' and says the commission set up to investigate was
a whitewash. He claims the attacks simply served 'as the pretext for the
systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights'.

The actor, 44, says the administration of former president George Bush was
behind the attacks, which they were then able to use to justify an invasion
of Iraq . He even hints that Osama Bin Laden was working with the CIA up
until 9/11. Sheen, who appears in the hit comedy series Two And A Half Men,
made his claims in the transcript of a fictional encounter with Mr Obama,
called Twenty Minutes With The President.

Sheen also slammed Mr Obama, above, over his own track record on 9/11 policy
It was published on the website of radio show host Alex Jones,
PrisonPlanet.com, two days ahead of Sheen's appearance on Jones's show today.
Most of his observations make up the basis of all the conspiracy theories
surrounding the terror attack. Those who support the theories in the U.S.
are known as Truthers.

He voices doubts over whether the planes really were passenger jets and
questions how passports identifying the hijackers survived the infernos.
The actor, whose father Martin played the president in The West Wing, said
he hoped the work would be seen by Mr Obama. He urged other Americans who
were sceptical of the investigation into the attacks to demand the truth.
He said: 'We cannot allow governments to continue to advance their political
agendas by exploiting forged pretexts and the fact that big budget hit pieces
against 9/11 truth are still being rolled out proves that the establishment
is upset that the population is waking up to false flag terror.'

Sheen first questioned the events of 9/11 in 2006 when he said: 'It seems
to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners
and hitting 75 per cent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory.
It raises a lot of questions.' This week President Obama's 'green jobs'
tsar was forced to resign after it was revealed he had signed a petition
from a 9/11 Truther movement that claimed the U.S. government staged the
attacks.
